In Orbit

On receiving news of a beloved teacher’s death, a man struggles with the loss of a relationship sustained by deep admiration and love. Memories of their shared trajectory are separated in three orbits where the man’s past, present, and future are all punctuated by the same intense grief. In Orbit is a sustained narrative of loss and longing.
